Clone gt Dwell tuning

Has anybody dropped the dwell down and found the perfect number to keep good consistency? I have mine at 8 ms right now and fsdo at 2 because I play in fairly cool weather. I am chronoing with in +/-8 fps. Just wondering what everybody else is doing with theirs

I never did efficiency testing on my gt to start and haven't done them now the only thing I have checked while doing it was my consistency over the chrono. Everything seems to be fine so far and I may try turning my fsdo off. I only turned it on last weekend coming into winter in Canada it gets chilly

I would say that 8 is a bit low for the GT. In cold weather you will start seeing broken paint and some bolt stick. Best to start over at 12 (stock) and lower 1ms. Over the chrono till you see the FPS change 10+ - and go back up .5ms. In colder weather i would go up 2ms from where you are to no see FSDO or any issue with breaking paint.

Thanks! I will do this at practice this weekend and update you guys with what I find. Gotta love tinkering you can always improve something on the marker....

Have you lowered your dwell or anything else at all, or are you running it stock and not worried about it.

+/- 8 seems kind of bad consistency wise. From my experience with my GT once it was broken in was getting +/-2 with most shots being within 1 fps of my set pressure. I have gotten so used to this that anything worse than +/-4 just seems unacceptable. Using all stock settings getting about 5 pods and a hopper off 3k.

You know your guns broken in when you think the chronos broken b/c theres no change in fps for most shots lol

If it's not broken in, 8 is all good.

8+/- is the industry standard for being acceptable as far as I knew...

I agree with ya but I rarely under bore and and unless your shooting premium paint for the chrono its never going to stay +/- 5 at all times.
My gt is well broken in with probably 10-15 cases through it minimum so it should be broken in enough.

Note:I usually shoot Draxxus basic training or Draxxus recsport paint at practice because of the price I get it at. Our store is switching to Valken in the near future and Ill be able to shoot something that isn't dog crap soon
